A neighbor who heard the commotion called 9-1-1 after hearing the gunfire and noticing the Sable idling in the street.
Police arrived and began to investigate the shooting. It was the responding officers, not the homeowners, who noticed the bullet holes in the house, police said.
Nam Duong, the homeowner, told KDFW the bullets broke the glass and scattered through the 3-year-old child's room. The child's reaction was caught on a baby monitor equipped with a camera.
“You hear glass shatter. You see the curtains move from the bullets going through them… She like, pokes her head up and she starts screaming, 'Too loud! Too loud!' She starts covering her ears and saying, 'Too loud! Too loud!'” Duong told the news station.
Police say despite the sheer number of shots fired in the neighborhood, no injuries were reported.
Police are working to identify the people involved in this incident. No arrests have been made.
An investigation is ongoing.
